Stefan Raab also teases advertising master – comeback or April Fool’s joke? © Imago/Instagram: therealstefanraab (montage)
Is Stefan Raab really planning a comeback or is this just an April Fool's joke? And what does the advertising chief have to do with it? Instagram posts raise questions.
Update April 2nd, 3:05 p.m.:
Apparently "THE FINAL FIGHT: Regina Halmich vs. Stefan Raab" is not an April Fool's joke after all. Regina Halmich's management has now confirmed this. Advance sales for tickets have also started at eventim (promotional link).
Original report from April 2nd, 11:45 a.m.:
Hamburg – Stefan Raab withdrew from the public at the end of 2015. However, he is still active behind the scenes as a producer. Many fans would like the entertainer and presenter to return. After a long absence, Raab finally appeared on social media again and even teased a comeback. Curiously, the advertising master posted a very similar video shortly afterwards. Is this perhaps more than an April Fool's joke?
Stefan Raab reports back – what does the advertising chief have to do with it?
What happened?
A video appeared on Stefan Raab's official social media channels last week. It shows Elton trying to persuade Raab, who has withdrawn from the lake, to make a comeback. He agrees on one condition: if he reaches 9 million followers on Instagram, he would do something again.
On April 1st, a second video appeared on Raab's channels. In it, Elton explains that Raab didn't crack the 9 million.
Nevertheless, he wanted to box against Regina Halmich one last time on September 14th. Most people assumed it was an April Fool's joke - it is still unclear whether it is actually one.
Joey Kelly would also like a Stefan Raab comeback at 7 vs. Wild.
Werbehauptmeister posts a similar video:
The Werbehauptmeister has quickly become a new Internet phenomenon in Germany after he was seen in a “Spiegel TV” report. He has now also posted a clip on social media in which he jokingly rats out a parking offender in the forest near a lake. This is said to be Stefan Raab's car. Here is the video:
More than an April Fool's joke?
At first glance, the advertising master's video seems as if he simply took the opportunity to generate attention through Raab's posts. What is striking, however, is the quite professional design, including drone shots. The advertising master has not shared any such posts to date. The fact that he produced this so soon after Stefan Raab's videos stimulates speculation that he had known about it for a long time.
Is Stefan Raab really boxing against Regina Halmich again?
Stefan Raab posts raise questions:
It is unclear whether the advertising master is actually in cahoots with Stefan Raab. It would be questionable that it should be this duo of all people - after all, the advertising master doesn't just make friends.

The supposedly planned boxing match against Regina Halmich has not yet been finally exposed as an April Fool's joke; Ticket sales reportedly begin on April 2nd at 2 p.m. Some suspect that ProSieben or Joko and Klaas are planning an announcement that has to do with Stefan Raab.
What does “NWSDWH” mean?
Fans are also wondering what could be behind “NWSDWH”. This letter combination can be seen on Stefan Raab's trucker cap in the video. Rumor has it that this might mean “Well, what does that mean again?” During his TV Total days, Raab often shortened his specially produced casting shows and thereby made fun of programs like “DSDS” - for example with “SSDSGPS” (“Stefan is looking for the Super Grand Prix star”).
Stefan Raab has definitely achieved one thing with his posts: generating a lot of attention.
